Online bidding and text-to-bid are not turned on yet. Your silent auction runs on paper: guests write bids on a sheet next to each item, and you record each winner in Redswing.
Print the bid sheets
- Open Dashboard → Events → [Event] → Auction.
- Add your items with a name, photo, value and starting bid.
- Click Print bid sheets. You get one sheet per item, with the item name, starting bid and lines for bids.
Record each winner
- Announce the close time and collect the sheets at that moment.
- On the Auction page, click Record winner on each item.
- Enter the winner's name and the winning amount from the sheet, then save.
- When the winner pays you, mark the item paid.
Things to know
- Redswing takes 0% of auction money.
- Winners may deduct only what they paid above the item's fair market value. See Auction receipts and fair market value.
- Keep the paper sheets until your books are closed.
